Okay, I normally don't post speculation, but a link between the
following and Maura Murray is being talked abou elesehere, on a crime
board I frequent.

I thought I would post it here, just to see what others here thought.

The man was hit on the 6th, the article posted the 9th, the day Maura
disappeared.

UMass student found unconscious in the road; police unsure whether
accident was a hit-and-run

By Morris Singer, Collegian Staff
February 09, 2004

A University of Massachusetts male student was found early Friday
morning lying unconscious in the road, apparently either hit by or
having fallen from a moving vehicle.

Petrit Vasi, 22, of Dorchester, Mass. was found by the Amherst Police
Department at 12:20 a.m. at the intersection of Triangle and Mattoon
Streets in Amherst. Police described his injuries as consistent with
being struck by or falling from a motor vehicle. Vasi sustained
serious head injuries, the Amherst Police said.

According to police, Vasi was transferred by an Amherst Fire
Department ambulance to Baystate Medical Center in Springfield, and
was initially classified as being in critical condition. His status
was recently upgraded to serious condition, a spokesman for the
hospital said yesterday.

APD has not identified the operator of any vehicle involved in the
incident, nor have they obtained a description of the vehicles.
Investigators are asking those with information call the APD Detective
Bureau at 413-256-4015.

Vasi is a junior economics student at the University.

A number of other students have been struck on campus by vehicles in
the past few years, including four students who were struck in
separate incidents while crossing streets in the fall of 2002.

In November 2002, Jared R. Cariddi was struck by a car on East
Pleasant Street. In October 2002, a female was struck in a crosswalk
near the Mullins Center. In September 2002, Shandralee Lerro was hit
by a car in a crosswalk near the horseshoe in the Southwest
Residential Area. Jessica Moody was hit while crossing University
Drive in September of that year.

The increase in accidents caused the University to install a new
traffic control device on University Drive before the start of the
fall semester. These large yellow bumps in the pavement, or bulds,
were put in to prevent cars from passing one another in close
proximity to pedestrian crossings. The bulds extend outward into the
street as they approach the crosswalk, in a triangular shape.

The University also installed lit signs at the crossings, in order to
alert drivers of potential foot traffic on what is considered to be a
largely pedestrian campus.

What's the speculation, Anne?

That Maura Murray may have been the hit-and-run driver, and
that she later had to stage the accident in NH to cover it up?

evening and staged that crying jag after the phone call to her sister.

Doesn't work. If she had a time-travel machine, she'd have gone back and not
been a hit-and-run driver.

Her car wasn't a Delorean (sp?) was it? You guys may be on to something... ;)

Interesting, was that around the same time as when she
smashed dad's car ? I know the area as the area is dotted with
crosswalks between one side of campus and the other.
Not saying it is related but.. would like to know
where the accident with her fathers car happened.
Have to go back and look at timeframe. Thanks.

It might also fit in with the roommate withholding information from police,
because she didn't want ot get Maura in trouble. And it might explain why
she took off if she thought that Atwood was going to call police.

That's one speculation. The other is that she was in the car when it
happned. I don't have the articles at hand, but it seems s if Maura
was a drinker thus either hitting this person while drunk and not
realizing it or, as I said, being a passenger in the car that did.
